Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
I didn't understand the reason to add National Independence Day to it - makes it clumsy.
But, Juneteenth is not just an African-American holiday, it really is a national holiday. Some 600k Americans gave their lives in the Civil War to eradicate slavery (well, at least half of them did). That's a significant thing, and worthy of remembrance and celebration. Juneteenth is a proud American achievement for all races.

That is a narrow-minded way to look at it. Someone could very well feel this is one country and that no one was truly free until everyone was free.

No more narrow minded than calling both holidays the same thing- national independence day. That right there says we have separate independence days for separate people.

Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
So in typical government fashion, nobody thought of the ramifications of cramming in a Federal Holiday at the last minute. In our mortgage industry, thanks to the federal government, we have to send our Closing Disclosure 3 business days prior to closing. Business days are Mon - Saturday excluding Federal Holidays. So if somebody was closing next Wednesday and they didn't get their CD yesterday, they need to delay settlement. Might not seem like a big deal, but tell a seller they have to wait another day for their money, or if they had their purchase also set up for the same day.

Re: The Official "Making America Woke Again" Thread
My son was doing a STEM camp through the Naval Academy - got an urgent email last night that because of the sudden national holiday, the last day of camp was postponed to next week (can't make the postponed date, so oh well). Small potatoes, sure, but agreed, people disconnected with the real world making political decisions results in real people having to deal with the fallout.89Hen wrote: ↑Fri Jun 18, 2021 1:50 pm So in typical government fashion, nobody thought of the ramifications of cramming in a Federal Holiday at the last minute.

We have separate independence days if you choose to look at it that way. I don't, I think they're both days worth celebrating.
89 and Ganny are bringing up legitimate complaints about the implementation without being Karens about the overall concept.

You think it makes more sense to be called ‘National Independence Day’ and not Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, or something along those lines?

Nothing like announcing on the 17th that there’s a new federal holiday on the 18th. If that ain’t government at it’s finest I don’t know what is.

Seattle ‘Pride’ Event charging white people a ‘reparations’ fee.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-prid ... ations-fee
But apparently that’s not discrimination . I’d like to see an event say free entry for straight white people, and charge a POC fee, and see how that flies. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

My favorite was how it was racist to require ID to register, only to see the Dems agree it was just fine if it helped to pass Manchin's version.

I'm still amused that we're fine with the idea of requiring vaccine passports, or ID if you will, to do a lot of things (board planes, attend concerts, go to school, etc) but the idea of requiring ID to vote is still controversial.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 9:15 amMy favorite was how it was racist to require ID to register, only to see the Dems agree it was just fine if it helped to pass Manchin's version.
There is a system of perfectly acceptable voter ID and registration and other laws that everyone should be able to agree on. However, neither side likes to talk in reality, just hyperbole, so we get the mess we have right now.

And Kalm wants to know who is currently requiring vaccine passports.
